Time is flying! I am already in my last 6 months of my occupational therapy program. I started my first fieldwork II site about 2 weeks ago at a skilled nursing facility. It’s bean a humbling learning experience so far but it is very tough; especially with documentation/productivity expectations. Yikes! I must say though that the patients make it all worthwhile! And my work schedule allows me to have Fridays off! woot woot!
Today is my day to recharge and do things that I love, like figuring out how to bake plant-based desserts and then blog about it. I’ve been craving chocolate a latte! So today I made some avo bean missing you a latte brownies to bring some happiness to my soul. I cannot espresso how much I love these! 🙂 k I am punned out.
Ingredients:
- 1 15oz can of black beans
- 1/2 medium avocado
- 2/3 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 small packet of instant coffee (I use pike place starbucks coffee because I love it a latte!)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of coconut sugar
- 1 T of white sugar
- 1/4 cup of apple sauce
- 1 flaxseed egg (1 T of flaxseed mixed with 3 T of water)
- 1 T of peanut butter
- 1 T of vanilla
- 1/4 tsp of baking soda
- 1/4 tsp of baking powder
- +dairy-free Chocolate Chunk Chips to place on top or mix in. I mixed about 1/4 c in the batter and placed some on top.
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: 350 degrees
- In a food processor, blend the black beans, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and avocado together. Then add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour evenly into 8×8 or 9×9 pan
- Sprinkle desired chocolate chips on top
- Bake for 20-22 minutes
FYI:
THESE ARE FUDGE-Y BROWNIES because of the avocado and absence of flour. I like them this way! BUT I will be making cake-like brownies in the near future for you classic brownie lovers. 😉
Avo yummy brownie & enjoy! 🙂
